Jilted Man Burns Ex-Lover’s Shop
A jilted lover has been arrested by the police at Isheri Oshun, Lagos for allegedly setting his girlfriend’s shop ablaze because she refused to marry him.
Nsidibe Achibong was alleged to have poured some petrol and used matches to ignite fire on the shop owned by Margaret Caleb at 50, Lafunke Street, Ijegun, Lagos.
The seemly frustrated man carried out the act after fruitless attempt to convince her to marry him.
Margaret was once married to a man who abandoned her with two kids and went abroad where he has remained for many years now. Since then, the husband has not contacted her.
While facing the agony of taking care of the two children the husband left behind, Nsidibe approached her and told her that he wanted to marry her.
Margaret said on the day of the incident, Nsidibe came to her shop where she was doing her fashion design business and poured petrol and burnt the place. But before the fire could be extinguished, everything in the shop had been destroyed. After committing the act, he escaped.
He was later arrested by the police who preferred a charge of arson against him.
He was arraigned in the magistrate’s court at Ejigbo.
The offence he committed was said to be contrary to section 443 and 451 of the Criminal Code.
When he was arraigned before the presiding magistrate, S.O. Solebo, she noted that the offence he committed was a capital offence and ordered that the police should take him to the high court at Ikeja.

Ajeniya Traders Commence Committal To Prison Against Bank Official
Twenty-six traders at Ajeniya Market has commenced committal to prison proceedings against the Managing Director of Union Bank of Nigeria, Olufunke Osibodu, and one of the senior legal manager, Nneka Ojioko, for disobeying the order of a Lagos High Court.
Meanwhile, the counsel for the traders Femi Olufokunbi has petitioned the Commissioner of Police Special Fraud Unit, Milverton, Ikoyi, complaining of issuance of dud cheque by Union Bank and the two signatories to the said cheque.
In an affidavit attached to the motion for contempt sworn to by one of the traders, Onyeka Dike Silvanus and filed before a Lagos High Court, the deponent averred that he is one of the traders whose stall and goods were vandalized in 1999, causing damages and loss in respect of which they got jugement in the sum of N16,332,350 against Union Bank on 13 May, 2010 after eleven years of protracted and delayed litigation.
Onyeka further averred that on 24 November, 2010 their counsel, Femi Olufokunbi, and the court’s team of bailiffs and policemen led by Sherrys Adebola levied execution of the judgement by attachment and seizure of the goods of the bank.
However, the bank later dishonoured the cheque it issued and signed by two of their signatories. It is therefore responsible for the contemptuous refusal to release and pay the proceeds of the judgement debt draft.
Thereafter all efforts made by the judgement creditor to reap the fruit of their judgement prove abortive.

Ritualists’ camp
For passers-by, Obadore Bridge along LASU - Iba - Isheri road, Lagos is just any other bridge for the convenience of motorists. But the bridge is a personification of evil.
It gives a picture of evil on all fours. It depicts desperate wickedness, bestiality, heartlessness and man’s inhumanity to man. Indeed, it shows a picture that diminishes man.
Findings revealed that Obadore Bridge is not just a linking bridge. It’s a slaughter house where people are daily killed and their bodies dismembered for money-making.
At the time of writing this report, the body of an unknown person, with some of the vital parts missing, lies near the bridge at Obadore to tell the story of this evil place.
There, evil men ambush unsuspecting members of the public, hack them down and dismember their bodies. The area is usually littered with corpses that have missing parts, such as private organs, breasts, tongues and eyes.
It was gathered that agents of ritualists, who operate commercial buses, take innocent passengers to Obadore, where such victims are killed and their vital parts cut off. Also, the killers waylay commercial motorcycle operators and their passengers. Such victims are knocked down the bike and dragged into the forest and killed. Also, some commercial motorcycles collude with the ritualists and take unsuspecting commuters to the place to be killed.
Findings revealed that when such commercial motorcycle operators get to the foot of the bridge with passengers, they would stop their bike, pretending that they have developed mechanical faults. At that instant, the ritualist would swoop on the passenger and drag him or her to the forest, where such a person is killed.
Saheed Musbau, a resident of Obadore, said he missed death by the whiskers when he was attacked near the bridge last December. Telling his story, Mustan said that evil operators around the bridge knocked him down from his motorcycle and tried to drag him into the bush. According to him, he was lucky that the blow from a club used by the ritualists landed on his back instead of the head, where they had aimed. He fell, quite alright, but did not lose consciousness. According to him, when his attackers, thinking he was unconscious swooped on him and were dragging him into the bush, he quickly got up and ran away.
The commercial motorcycle operator said of Obadore, he said: “In some cases, you will find motorcycles belonging to the victims, without any trace of the owners. They would have been killed and vital parts of their bodies removed.”
Musbau, who is a commercial motorcycle operator further said: “They usually dump their victims’ bodies in the forest. People usually perceive offensive odour any time they are passing through the bridge because of the decomposed bodies of victims of ritual killings.”
Another resident of the area, Mrs. Goodness Lawrence, offered further perspectives to the nefarious activities going on there. She said: “There is no doubt that the Obadore Bridge and its environs are dangerous spots. Apart from the ritual killers parading the place, cultists from the Lagos State University (LASU) also carry out their initiation there. Thieves also camp there in the night and rob people. In fact, you are as good as dead if your vehicle breaks down near the bridge at night.”
She added that when the second bridge was being built at Obadore, following the dualisation of the LASU- Obadore- Isheri expressway, a mass of human bones were discovered at the foot of the bridge.Checks also revealed that illegal bunkering also goes on in the forest. The illegal bunkerers operate in the night, stealing petroleum products from pipelines.When Saturday Sun visited the bridge recently, a group of young men were seen smoking Indian hemp. At the Oko-Efo end of the bridge, some people were seen enjoying roasted (dry) meat and palm wine, while exotic cars lined the roadside.
A source, who craved anonymity, squealed that there could be more to the daily rendezvous going on there than meet there ordinary eye. When contacted on telephone, the public relations officer of the Lagos state police command, Mr Frank Mba, said that the command is aware of the allegation that rutualists prawl the area. He, however, volunteered that the command had intensified overt and covert security patrol of the area area, adding that hoodlums and sundry criminals have been arrestd. He appealed to members of the public to coperate with the police by providing information that could lead to the arrest of enemies of society. He argued that the criminals are not spirits but human beings living in the midst of people. .....................................................................................................
